Adhesion barriers inhibit cell proliferation, adhesion and invasion of primary endometriosis cells

Background: In the pathogenesis of endometriosis adhesions play a major role. Applying adhesion barrier on the peritoneal wound that might act as a seeding ground could also prevent endometrial cells to adhere, invade and grow and thus cause a relapse of the disease. Methods: Cultured endometriosis cells were seeded on the media with or without the Intercoat® cellular barrier. Following six days of culture, all cells were collected and counted to determine the total number of live. Additionally a drop of Intercoat® was placed in the middle of a well in another experiment. Results: After seeding the cells in the…
